Default Re: Wood Charcoal oven?

Well, I'm gonna try it. I do allot with charcoal and wood around here anyway, and it won't cost much more than a normal oven.

Baz,
You have points, but then again $20 you save is another $20 you would have.
With such an oven also if the power goes down for a weekend your still up and running, povided you have backup power for your compressor and sprayer etc..
Without such an oven you might be out the entire $800 when you sitting wonder when the power will come back on to run the oven.

Well guys, I know it's not an idea for everyone, just an idea I though I'd share. For me and the crappy power grid we have here and the fact I am trying to get off grid it's an idea that might work very well and certainly for me worth trying.
Last thing I need to add is a giant power hog oven here when I am adding solar and wind generators so I can shut off the grid someday hopefully soon.
I could power everything else fine without the grid, not an electric oven as big as I would want though.
